Tales from the Neverending Story is a single-season TV series that is loosely based on Michael Ende's 1979 novel The Neverending Story, produced (in Montreal, Quebec, Canada during December 2000-August 2002[1]) and distributed by Muse Entertainment, and aired on HBO in 2002.

The concept of Yin and yang is introduced by altering the nature of the Childlike Empress's relationship with Xayide.

The Old Man of Wandering Mountain also takes on a larger role in the series becoming a mentor of sorts to Atreyu in much the same way as Karl Konrad Koreander is for Bastian.

Lucas and Marley are Bastian's friends who try to defend him from school bullies, and Fly Girl is a heroine whom Atreyu meets who is on her own Quest.

Tales from The Neverending Story is the first live action adaption not to feature the characters of Nighthob, Teeny-Weeny, or Rockbiter.
